The Build

My old macMini with 1.4GHz & 4 GB RAM became terrible for running Xcode & other applications together. It takes 5 mintues to open all needful applications like Xcode 8, Simulator, Chrome/Firefox. Then only I can start start work. Sometimes it hangs too much that I have to restart it. And now watching Xcode 9 beta on WWDC 2017 with multi simulator functionalities I decided to keep the macMini in my garage.
Now my focus of this custom build was cost & performance effective both at the same time. I know I can insert more RAMs at any time.

BIOS Settings

1. To access BIOS/UEFI Setup, press and hold F2 on a USB Keyboard while the system is booting up.
2. Load Optimized Defaults
3. VT-d - Disabled
4. Fast Boot Mode - Disabled
5. OS Type to Other OS
6. IO SerialPort - Disabled
7. XHCI Handoff - Enabled
8. Save and exit.

Unibeast 7.1.1
Used a 8GB flash drive with macOS Sierra 10.12.6 installation file and selected UFEI options to make it bootable.

Then I used F12 to got boot options and booted from flash drive.

Multibeast 9.1.0

After fresh installation I used the following configuration shown below.[/SIZE]

Multibeast-9.1.0

​

And after restarting...BOOM! Its ready for use except...the Audio.
Then I used this renowned file: https://github.com/toleda/audio_CloverALC/blob/master/audio_cloverALC-120.command.zip to enable audio. But Again another problem raised. No Audio after sleep/wake

Then I found this link: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ly-other-realteks.170063/page-12#post-1444052

I followed:

1. Download RehabMan's latest file
2. Move to the CodecCommander.kext from Release folder to Desktop
3. Right click on CodecCommander.kext file. Then Show Package Contents -> Contents
4. Edit Info.plist (I used plistEditorPro or Xcode)
5. Search the LAST <key>Realtek ALC1150</key>
6. Change "Update Nodes" from false to true
7. <key>Update Nodes</key>
8. <true/>
9. Add to /S/L/E with kextbeast
10. reboot

Now Everything is working as far I know.

Update 1: Upgraded to mojave 10.14.6

[Stork]

The reason you had no audio after you ran MultiBeast is due MacMan's find in the "Please Note" section of the MultiBeast v9.1.0 announcement.

Issue:
MultiBeast Audio does not work upon first reboot?

Solution:
Re-run Audio portion of MultiBeast after rebooting from system drive...

I did but nothing happened. Thats why I had to run the clover command.

MacMan's recommendation to fix the audio worked on all my systems. So, my guess is something was the problem. But, gald to hear you now have audio working.

For sleep after wake-up audio fix, get RehabMan's CodecCommander.kext > https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-eapd-codec-commander/downloads

 

[devuji]

I recommend you print out his installation procedures and follow them, checking off each step as you go along. This is how you learn and become self efficient.

 

[chchavarte]

I followed your instructions, and it worked like charm. But USB 3 are not working on High Sierra. Any solution??
